We should have been closing this deal with the Turkish club before the window even opened.

I'm sure the word around Europe is that we're an easy target to pummel some cash from so they're just doing what I would expect them to do and wait for us to blink first. You can't blame them really watching how we conducted the Sigurdsson deal.

How Moshiri pursued Koeman , Sig and although failed Silva . Yep I suppose we will get rinsed a little .

All teams would fleece another one if they get the chance. We did it with Fellani... that's business these days. Tosun is a gamble but you either take it and hope you thought right about him or you get fleeced by someone else.. it's called having money now.

From The Times tonight...........Everton officials are due to meet with Fikret Orman, the president of Besiktas, in London tonight as the wrangling over the proposed transfer of Cenk Tosun continues.

Orman was scheduled to fly into the capital this afternoon having held a press conference in Turkey for the new signing Domagoj Vida this morning, at which he stated Cenk “was a very valuable player for us”.

Everton have made a bid in the region of €24 million (about £21.2 million) for the striker, but Besiktas are holding out for a higher figure which also does not include add-ons.
